Oscar
It proved a bad night for the Brits at this year\'s ceremony. Despite 20 nominations, runaway favourite Helen Mirren was our only celeb to bag an award. Still, the star-studded spectacular saw a sea of celebs ramble their way up the red carpet...

Mirren took time out to say a special thank you to Her Majesty when she picked up her award for best actress. \'For 50 years and more, Elizabeth Windsor has maintained her dignity, her sense of duty - and her hairstyle,\' she said. The gorgeous 61-year-old spurned the anti-wrinkle treatment \'swag bags\' offered to celebs. \'I\'m very vain. I\'m not fond of all those needles and scalpels. I\'ll try to get away with make-up, jewellery and a nice frock\'

Scorsese couldn\'t believe he\'d finally won an Oscar after six nominations. \'Could you double check the envelope!,\' he asked pals George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola when they presented him with the award for Best Director. He also bagged the Best Film gong for his movie \'The Departed\' and earned himself a standing ovation. \'So many people over the years have been wishing this for me... I thank you, this is for you,\' he said

There was plenty of size zero bashing at the awards. Best Actress nominee Winslet gave hope to all the curvier actresses out there: \'This kind of stuff isn\'t supposed to happen to someone like me who comes from a small town and who was told that I was only going to get parts as the fat girl, and here I am\'
Meryl Streep

Whitaker almost broke down when he collected the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in \'The Last King of Scotland\'. \'I need a second to take it in,\' he said, composing himself. \'When I was a kid the only way that I saw movies was from the back seat of my family\'s car at the drive-in. It wasn\'t my reality to think I would be acting\'
